How to Remove Glitter Nail Polish

The holiday season is rife with glitter nail polish of all sorts, from flakies to hexagon shapes to everything in between. And while this variety of lacquer is festive and fun, the removal process isn't always quite as joyous. To remove glitter nail polish, you don't have to use mountains of cotton pads and gallons of polish remover. Just follow these simple tips below to make it easy on yourself.

Step 2: Repeat the process on each of your fingers and thumb, pressing down on the foils while the remover works its magic.

Step 3: Let sit for about five minutes and then slide the foils off to reveal glitter-free nails.

Step 4: Repeat steps one through three on the opposite hand.

Alternative: In lieu of foil and cotton balls, use white felt with acetone nail polish remover to get the glitter off. What are your tips for wiping away glitter lacquer? Share them with us in the comments now.

It's also a way to remove gel polish. Put Acetone on the cotton ball, wrap around the nails. Then, use foil to wrap around the fingers. Wear that hand with a nylon gloves. after 5 or 10 mins, remove one by one and use something hard to stroke them off.

I kinda modified the method a bit - I used acetone-dipped cotton swabs and wrap them around my nails, and then leave it on for around 5 minutes (surprisingly it doesnt work as well if its <5 minutes, haha).

I have tried this method and it does work. For sth less fussy and simpler I use the Express nail polish remover by Sephora. The downside of this is that it is more expensive than the regular nail polish remover.
